I believe that's called a canard. It's been discussed so you might do a search on it.

That looks like a cheap mod... A nice alternative to full side skirt replacement.

That's exactly what I'm looking for...let me know if anyone has a link to one we can purchase.

I don't like the bulky body kits...just want that...and perhaps something on the front...oh and a non-obnoxious wing.

That looks great! Is there anyone that makes it cheaper than the Tommy Kaira?

I remember reading about that Axis car in a magazine. I believe its a Porsche canard.

How bout Veilside V1 side skirts. Not exactly like that but close.

email axis (http://www.axiswheels.com) where they have their side skirt from (this is an axis project "Z").
This little canard would fit greatly to my front lip. not too big and very decent.

can someone tell where to get those parts in germany...damn. Aftermarket parts are so damn expensive to import.

Are you a civilian, or in the service?

The aero piece was a one-off by wet works garage. I emailed them a few months ago and never got a response.

a civilian in search of a good importer. I have managed to get a nice front lip from a german tuner. looks fine. now I'm in search for some side skirts and rear skirts. "esprit" has decent rear skirts but the problem is where to get them from here without paying too much. any ideas?

If you are near a military base, get a part time job tearing tickets at the movie theatre or something. You will get base priviliges, such as no tax shopping for food, electronics, clothes...etc, and possibly a APO mailbox (Not sure on that though). At least you'll make some friends that can get things shipped to them at a NY shipping rates. Or hang out at clubs where the GIs go, and make some connections that way.

Very nice idea...i have a good friend working for the us army. maybe he can get the parts without paying to much for shipping. the bigger question is now if I am allowed to mount the parts here in germany. our MOT is very VERY strict.

Another question sschmuve:
is the JWT popcharger worth buying? I've heard it's a rather cheap mod (185 euros = 160-170$) that brings an increase of some 6+ hp and a better (deeper) sound. is that true?
